I still don't think that SRS can be accused or Shoddy prices or shoddy service. They charged him the correct price - if he had looked at his bank statement he would have seen that. It may be a problem of their online ordering system, but it is not shoddy pricing or service. They gave him the discount after all.
Perhaps it would have been better if Alistair had taken this direct to SRS or to Peter, not come on the forum with, especially as he doesn't seem to appreciate comments from others about it.

Alistair, you posted a reply in the open forum, so anyone is able, and has the right to reply to it.
If you wanted only Peter to read it you should have PMed him.

If you didn't want others to join in you could have just contacted SRS in the first place to find out about it from them.

Robbie added the bold to show to which part of your post he was referring. Quite a normal and acceptable way of behaving.

I am glad you have got your problem sorted now. It has resulted in an explanation for others how the discount is applied by SRS.

Maybe you would like to retract the comment which Robbie highlighted?

Anyone thinking of making the trip to Cologne this year?

I'm considering it, if I can persuade my husband to go too. I don't fancy going on my own so much.

I shall work on him this weekend and see if he agrees to go .

Thanks for clearing that up Chris.

If you give your forum user name to SRS when ordering you will get free delivery.

I have the Kirk, and am very happy with it.

Nikonians even threw in a lens cleaning cloth and some Gummibears .

My father had an orange VW camper. My kids called it Granan's bus.
When my grandson was looking at some car pictures yesterday he came across an orange VW bus.
My son said to me "oh look Granan's bus". His son turned to him and said no it's not it's a Volkswagen bus Papa.

Useless fact - the VW van/camper/bus was designed by a Dutchman, Ben Pon. His family is still the importer for Volkswagen in the Netherlands.

What happens if you load the DNG straight into CS5 without going through Lightroom? Does it lose the data then too?

Maybe someone else here could try it and see if it works for them?

Not having Lightroom or CS5 I can't help I'm afraid.

Shouldn't that be a ?
